Abstract
An apparatus includes an original-document-attribute determining unit that determines attribute of an original document image, a form-attribute determining unit that determines attribute of a form image, and a compositing unit that performs sequence of compositing of the original document image, a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image, and the form image, the sequence of compositing being determined based on the determined attribute of the original document image and the determined attribute of the form image.
Claims8
An apparatus comprising:
- a compositing unit configured to composite, in order from top to bottom, an original document image, a form image and a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in a first case, and to composite, in order from top to bottom, a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image, an original image and a form image in a second case;
- and
- an outputting unit configured to output an image obtained by the compositing:
- wherein the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image comprises a latent-image part and a background-image part that becomes pale compared with the latent-image part or disappears so that the latent-image part appears on a copy.
A control method comprising:
- compositing, in order from top to bottom, an original document image, a form image, and a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in a first case, and compositing, in order from top to bottom, a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image, and original image and a form image in a second case;
- and
- outputting an image obtained by the compositing;
- wherein the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image comprises a latent-image part and a background-image part that becomes pale compared with the latent-image part or disappears so that the latent-image part appears on a copy.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause a computer to execute operations of a control method comprising:
- compositing, in order from top to bottom, an original document image, a form image and a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in a first case, and compositing, in order from top to bottom, a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image, an original image and a form image in a second case;
- and
- outputting an image obtained by the compositing;
- wherein the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image comprises a latent-image part and a background-image part that becomes pale compared with the latent-image part or disappears so that the latent-image part appears on a copy.
A system comprising:
- a compositing unit configured to composite, in order from top to bottom, an original document image, a form image and a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in a first case, and to composite, in order from top to bottom, a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image, an original image and a form image in a second case;
- and
- an outputting unit configured to output an image obtained by the compositing:
- wherein the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image comprises a latent-image part and a background-image part that becomes pale compared with the latent-image part or disappears so that the latent-image part appears on a copy.
